[General] Granting FTP access to subfolders on external drive

I would first like to apologize for the following:

1. Not finding the answer due to improper or insufficient searching on this forum
2. For what is a seemingly basic question unfindable in any help file

Now that's out of the way, I have the LS-GL 500 with the 1.11 firmware. I have an external drive connected to it. While I see the option in the shared folders to share (via FTP, apple, SMB, etc) the entire external drive (formatted by the LinkStation when it was connected), I do not see any way to list the folders on the external drive so that I can share specific folders to specific people. How do I do this? I'm sure Buffalo wasn't stupid here and leave out such a very, very basic capability. I'm sure I'm just too stupid to figure it out so any enlightenment would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Re: [General] Granting FTP access to subfolders on external driv

I have a couple of Buffalo LS-1000's (1TB each) NAS drives connected to my network. Both drives are formatted in the native XFS format and seen by my winblows PC's that connect to the NAS drives as NFS volumes. On each of the NAS drives I've connected a couble of old BUSlink 250GB external USB drives to each of the NAS drives USB ports. The USB drives were also formatted as XFS volumes from within the Buffalo NAS web interface utility. If you can see the external drive volumes attached to the NAS device via the winblows explorer, then you can map to it as well as map to any directory/subdirectory and configure them for sharing.

How do a grant individual permissions (by user or group) to the sub-folders under usbdisk1 on that drive like I can on the LS?
